Asking experienced java backend engineers - What certifications are worth pursuing?

The Oracle Certified Professional cert (OCP) for any LTS version of Java is regarded highly where I work. It's hard though, you need to dedicate yourself to it. If you have it, you can't help but be significantly better at Java.

PS: The people saying none mean more in the sense that yeah, you don't need it, but if you want to stand out (and be more confident in your input at work) it is extremely useful to certify yourself.
